Cristiano Ronaldo thinks that no other player can hold a candle for him.
And he can also be lyrical about his 40th birthday cake – thanks to a majestic creation of Al -Nassr.
Ronaldo's Saudi club served a triple offer, peppered with three really special extras.
There was five tasty balloons d'Or for the cake, it looked great.
Embedded around it was a moving selection of photos from childhood.
And at the top was a mini version of the legend itself, which carried out the type of overhead shovel that memories of the cream of his 923 goals (and counting) encourages.
Al-Nassr placed Snaps of the radiant ex-manchester United frontman who stared at the carbinal construction that could normally prevent health-conscious Ronaldo.
They added the words: “Happiness looks good.”
Teammates such as new £ 64 million striker Jhon Duran pressed other photos together with CR7.
And while supporters responded to the photos with a stream of good wishes for the Portugal Great, Ron also shared his judgment on the big day.
Madrid's ex-REEELE hero posted a pleasant photo with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and said: “Thank you all for the great birthday messages!
“Had a great day with family and friends, couldn't want anything better.”
In interviews this week, Ron revealed that he believes that playing on “a year, or two or three” is still possible.
But when he reached what many considered a milestone, he seemed to be more philosophical about his future on the field.
Ronaldo claimed that he “doesn't care” how long his play career lasts.
He also suggested that he is relaxed about whether he falls into the 77 more strikes in the false that are needed to make four digits.
He said: “If I reach 1,000 goals, great. If not, that's fine too. Figures don't lie. “
Ron won the Champions League four times, all with Real, Plus La Liga twice, three Prem Crowns with United and Serie A at a few times with Juventus.
And as represented by his ballons d'Or cake accessories, he was also named World Player of the Year five times.
So, at least in terms of distinctions, he is the perfect antidote for the argument that life starts at 40.
But he certainly chose the moment to serve some struggle – for those who love a heated debate.
Ronaldo raised the eternal question of “Who is the goat?” By again insisting that he is “the best player ever”.
He added: “I'm fast, I'm strong, [I score] With my head, with the left, nobody has ever been more complete than me.
“You may prefer Pele, Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona, I understand and respect that … I am the best in history. Period.”
And what already gave Ron for his birthday, it may not beat the biggest gift of all – his sense of fulfillment.
